Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant was entitled to annual supplementary benefits from 1 September 2017.
Decisão extraída
No entitlement existed because recognized income remained higher than recognized expenses throughout the relevant period.
Fundamentação extraída
The court found the office correctly applied the EL rules on living expenses, health insurance premiums, housing costs, rental income, and earned income. Even under the claimant's alternative assumptions, an income surplus remained.
